GPL is fine, but that thing's not an open source project.  (Doesn't matter 
what the license is, it's not maintained as an open source project.  There's 
no download URL for the software, instead you have to fill out a web form 
telling them who you are and clicking on a contract-o-matic for permission to 
get a copy.  It smells like if I mirrored it they'd come after me on 
trademark grounds.  And it also looks like the only way I'd ever get a patch 
into the thing is if I forked the project.)

Well, I was poking at it a few months ago, but I spent most of 2006 
maintaining busybox, and since then I've been doing toybox and Firmware 
Linux.  Bit short on time.

I believe I have a printout of the ssl RFC somewhere around here, though.  I 
know I have a printout of the libtomcrypt docs...
